Accordingly air crash investigators have begun analyzing the black box data recorder from Ethiopian Airlines flight 302, amid reports that the plane wreckage suggested similarities with a previous disaster involving the Boeing 737 Max jet. Meanwhile accounts have also emerged of communications between the plane and air traffic control, in which the pilot is said to have asked in panicked tones to turn back three minutes into the flight, as the 737 Max dipped and climbed.



Furthermore the black box recorder, which arrived in Paris showing some external damage, is being reviewed by French aviation experts at the request of Ethiopian Airlines. Apparently French authorities have said it was unclear what data could be retrieved to shed light on Sunday’s crash which killed 157 people outside Addis Ababa and it is likely to be several days before any interim findings are released.

Moreover evidence gathered by investigators at the scene of the crash, according to two sources cited by Reuters, includes a piece of the plane’s stabilizer, which was set in an unusual position potentially suggesting similarities with the Lion Air crash off Jakarta in October. Gebremariam said there was a “clear similarity between our crash and the Lion Air crash.”
